WD or Seagate external HDD

[Bl00dgod]

as the title says

i dont want to get fooled by my own experience and you sure have more

in the past 10 years i was unlucky with WD and everytime i got an internal drive they died after a year or so, i changed the brand and took seagate and never had problems again

 

currently my external drives 2TB are getting old ~7 years

and i´ve been looking for some bigger with like 5TB

 

but cant decide which of those 2 brands to choose

 

WD Elements 5TB or Seagate Expansion 5TB

 

or do you guys have any other awesome suggestions?

 

thx in advance

hail the brotherhood of nod

Both good. Grab whichever is cheaper at the same capacity, and look at the quality of the enclosure.

I'd go with WD.  Seagate drives seem to fail more quickly
